> data centers do not belong in Ireland...

Data Centers have been the cornerstone of Ireland's economy since the mid-2000s when the IDA began wooing tech FDI specifically by calling out data center expansion opportunities within the EU [0].

Also, if Europeans actually wish to have a sovereign tech industry, they need domestic compute capacity.

Complaining about American tech dependency and then immediately complaining about steps to build EU tech sovereignty is literally a contradiction.
